A nice, quiet getaway for those who want to relax
9.3
Cashew Grove is the perfect getaway if you want to spend a quiet, relaxing getaway in Coron. It's rated a 3-star resort but made me feel like it's a 4 or 5 star resort. It's located on the northwestern part of Coron island whereas Coron town (and all the famous island hopping activities are located) are on the southeastern part of the island so if you want to do the activities, skip Cashew Grove and just stay at a cheap hotel in Coron Town, as the transfer from Cashew Grove to Coron Town can be quite expensive and takes about 2 hours. But if you want a relaxing stay at a beachfront property, then Cashew Grove is an excellent resort!
Getting to Cashew Grove is the hardest part. The airport is located at the middle of the island and the road towards Cashew Grove is bumpy, unpaved dirt road. There are lots of airport shuttles to and from the airport and Coron Town (where the roads are paved) but most of them are reluctant to take you the other way to Cashew Grove. The resort itself can arrange for airport transfers but it'll cost you P1000 per person each way. And if you wanted to transfer from Cashew Grove to Coron Town to do the activities, the transfer can cost you P3000 and up!
What me and my girlfriend did (and is what I recommend to everyone) is to book your first night at a cheap hotel in Coron Town. That way, when you land at the airport, just pay the P150 transfer from the airport to Coron Town (they'll take you right up to your hotel). Then the next day do your activities and at night, pay the P3000 transfer from Coron Town to Cashew Grove. Your hotel at Coron Town should be able to arrange the transfer. Just ask. That way you get to do all the activities first, then spend the rest of your vacation relaxing!
When we got to Cashew Grove, the resort itself is small with 11 cabins in the "bahay kubo" (hut) style. The small number of occupancy at any one time means that you'll be catered to by the excellent staff. The cabins are all beachfront and you can choo

Friendly staff, perfect location for a quiet stay
quiet, open air bathroom, cool day trips
8.7
we, two couples, stayed in 2 beach front cottages. open the door and you look over the ocean which is 15 meters away from you. the hotel is very small, I counted 23 people max at dinner time. it gives you a family like feeling. the staff is very friendly and helpful.
there is nothing around the hotel. you have to eat there all meals. But the hotel is doing a very good job for providing best food and service. eat in the open air restaurant or by the beach.
The water is full of sea grass and not doog for swimming. you can walk in for around 70 meters and you still are just to your knees in the water. then there is a small reef for snorkeling and behind it gets deep. there is quite a current over the reef but as long as you stay in the shallow water you are in no danger.
verious day trips are provided but they are overprized in general since there are no other options. take a boat to a neighboring island for a fantastic snorkel experience and clear water. our trip took 45 minutes by boat. the beach was fantastic with extremely fine and white coral sand. The water very clear. We were the only people on the island and had 500 meters of beach for us. you find all sorts of shells washed to shore which tells you that there are not many tourists. leave the shells at the beach as you are not allowed to take them home anyway.
We went fishing for 3 hours but almost got nothing and the fishes were small. the guides used better fishing equipment than what they gave us and they caught a lot. it is disappointing that they don't provide good gear for tourist. what they used was not not more expensive. I can tell as I know fishing
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
day trip to island. Coron town tour with visits to all major tourist attractions.

i suggest asking for a mosquito net. i only saw 1 mosquito but there are other small animals in the room.the room could have been cleaned better. the spider i killed was on the floor for 2 days.
we went in february 2013. i reckon in ~2 years the hotel needs major renovation because it is build out of bamboo. it still looks very new now but for how l
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:

We enjoyed very much our 4 days at Cashew Grove. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful.
You must know before going that the resort is isolated , nothing around , 1hr drive from the airport, so you have no choice to eat morning, lunch and dinner at the resort. They food is good, good selection and everyday the dinner is different (eg. 1st night was a buffet, 2nd night it was set on the beach with a 3 courses menu, 3rd night it was around the pool).. (the price is correct )
Negative point is if you have food intolerance/allergy you don t have any choice other than rice.
I recommend the activities such as Coron Island hoping. check the website for picture. Other negative point is that the activities are expensive if you are only 2 people... they set the price for 4 and 6 people..
Overall it was a great stay...but very very quiet...

If you are looking for a lively holiday then this is not the place. It is remote and far from anywhere. The diving is O.K. but has to be access by boat 1 hour away ... plenty of marine life including black-tip shark, turtles, etc. However, there is only one dive center to offer a service - Dugong Dive Center.
This is a place to get away from everything for a 3/4 or 4/5 day stay - very peaceful.
However, the Internet access for now is not really possible. It is provided through a mobile hotlink which is not good connectivity for public use. One other inconvenience is the lack of "credit card acceptance". This is because the island is remote and the same for all over the island. So be prepared to bring lots of cash to pay for boat trips, dives, etc.

Nice huts but poor location
People were lovely and there were some beautiful islands to explore
7
Cashew Grove was very nice - the huts were clean and the resort itself was quite beautiful.
I didn't realise how remote it is though, until I arrived. My friend wanted to do some diving, but it turned out to be very expensive as it was an hour and a half drive into Coron (the main town). So we ended up taking a boat to Club Paradise (had to pay for that), then diving there was quite expensive as you had the kit rental, boat rental, gas fees and entrance fee to the island.
If you're looking to chill out and do some island hopping this place is for you. If you're young and want to be very active, try staying in Coron. There's no nightlife here, no internet and it can be quite noisy in the mornings with the dogs and roosters.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
If you want to see more of the island, stay in Coron where accommodation is cheaper and travel is more available.

Nature at its best
Very relaxing and the staff (and owners) are wonderful!
8.3
The resort is secluded with no resort nearby. A big plus if you want a very relaxing atmosphere. There is no tv and internet so there's nothing else to do but commune with nature or cuddle with your loved ones. A very nice feature of the room is the "sun roof/moon roof" wherein you could see the sky while you are on your bed. Aside from being an energy saver, it feels great to wake up in the morning with the sunshine caressing your face. It also features an open air shower area which is kinda cool but bathing becomes tricky when the weather is rainy.
From the Busuanga Airport the resort can be reached either by land or sea. If choose to go by land it will be through a bumpy hour long drive. Best to arrange a 4x4 transport service from the hotel. If you choose to go there by sea you still have to travel by land for about 30mins and then transfer to a boat for a serene 30 - 45mins boat ride.
